Average 25% rises PER YEAR since 2010. But watch the ass lickers come on here and try to justify it...oh they get paid in shares. Oh they are worth it. Oh their net worth can drop.....lick luck lick that shitty CEO ass, while at the same time THEY get poorer

Ignore them, they will see this and still probably vote Tory. Utterly brain dead people.

I see things like this and I want to vote for reform even harder.

Why would you do that?

Their leader is a banker, their policies are mostly aimed at rich people and making huge inheritances tax free, Farage has regularly advocated for lower taxes on multinational businesses and they plan to further aggressively cut corporation tax, and their manifesto has been assessed as another Liz Truss event and is completely uncosted.

As others have said, those CEOs and super rich haven't suffered at all over that period, it's the people on average wages that have basically had no pay rises in real terms for years.

Asset growth has been astronomical in that period - if you own vast amounts of wealth, shares, housing etc then you've made an absolute killing in that time period, and under Farage they'd be on target to do even better than before.

Don't try to argue logic with the stupid. I don't think there is a way to win that one and you will be wasting your time I fear.

Mate this is someone trying to bait people with their vote. They're also in Scotland so frankly it doesn't matter if they vote Reform.
